Kenya suspends passenger flights to and from Dubai

Kenya has suspended all inbound and transit passenger flights from the United Arabs Emirates.

The suspension takes effect fromJanuary 10, for a period of seven days.

“Inbound and transit passenger flights from UAE are suspended for a period of seven days. We are doing this to reciprocate a ban on Kenyan passenger flights to UAE,” Kenya Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement.

The ban comes a few days after Dubai  suspended flights from Kenya citing fake COVID-19 certificates.
